Author’s previous titles: Moon Camino de Santiago (Hachette, 2019), which since its release in April 2 has held, on average, to within the top 50,000 sales rank, and often has stayed within the top 25,000 of overall book sales on Amazon. Café Oc: A Nomad’s Tales of Magic, Mystery, and Finding Home in the Dordogne of Southwestern France, (Shanti Arts Publishing, 2016) Café Neandertal: Excavating Our past in One of Europe’s Most Ancient Places (Counterpoint Press, 2017) The Spiritual Traveler Spain: A Guide to Sacred Sites and Pilgrim Routes (Paulist Press, 2009). Key Selling Points The author is a noted authority on the Camino pilgrimage. She has dedicated three decades to unearthing the mysteries, lore, and many-sensory experiences of this massive and ancient network of roads that are all destined for the northwest of Iberia. In addition to her five previously published books, Bahrami is also known for her essays and articles on travel, archaeology, outdoors and adventure, food and wine, spiritual, and cross-cultural themes. Bahrami’s essays and articles have appeared in BBC Travel, Archaeology, Wine Enthusiast, The Bark, Bon Vivant, The Pennsylvania Gazette, National Geographic books, Expedition, Fodors.com, Transitions Abroad, and Perceptive Travel, among others Bahrami’s original voice is something of a cross between Mary Oliver’s presence and reverence, Bill Bryson’s humor and irreverence, and John McPhee’s observation and inquiry. Interest in the Camino is longstanding and growing. When Bahrami first walked the Camino in 1995, 19,821 people walked it that year. In 2019, the same year as the release of Bahrami’s guidebook, Moon Camino de Santiago (Avalon Travel/Hachette), officials on the Camino estimated that nearly half a million people would complete the trail. The majority of Camino memoirs recount the journey of a first-time pilgrim knocking about to Santiago de Compostela, often detailing the physical challenges of the trail and the social meetings and intrigue with diverse peoples from around the world. Few go more deeply into the meaning of the road, how it transforms a person, and that it is woven with old mysteries. Those narratives that do capture these latter qualities, as does The Way of the Wild Goose, also are the most read, reread, and talked about, and popular narratives. Marketing Bahrami will promote The Way of the Wild Goose on the many channels of her established and growing author platform. This includes her ongoing writing of essays and articles with biographical bylines, her website, her two blogs, her presence as an expert on the Camino, France, and Spain on numerous forums—especially Bindu Trips, Camigas, American Pilgrims on the Camino, The Camino Forum —as well as on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, GoodReads, and her Amazon Author Page. Galley mailings, review copy mailings, outreach to all media types within the niches of spiritual travel, and spirituality Will actively pursue publicity in all forms in all media types focusing on both Camino interest and the spirituality of the Camino. In addition to Monkfish well established spiritual media connections, we will focus on Wisdom Talk Radio, Camino Podcast, Dan Mullin’s My Camino Podcast.
